Explain the relationship between cooperation conflict and competition with a suitable example |
Answer» A key element in understanding\xa0cooperation/competition\xa0is the type of goal interdependence found\xa0between\xa0the involved parties. Parties goals\' may be negatively interdependent--one party\'s success correlating\xa0with the\xa0other\'s failure. Such\xa0situations\xa0tend to yield\xa0competitive relationships with a\xa0win-lose orientation.\xa0The primary\xa0difference between cooperation\xa0and the other two is that\xa0cooperation\xa0is associative, meaning that people are working together, while\xa0conflict\xa0and competition are by nature dissociative, meaning that people are working against each other. | |
